The phenotype of vestigial (short) wings (vg) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently

assorts with a recessive gene for hairy (h) body. Assume that a cross is made between a fly with normal wings and a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings and normal body hair. The wild-type F1 flies were crossed among each other to produce 1024 offspring. Which phenotypes would you expect among the 1024 offspring, and how many of each phenotype would you expect?

Answer:

It is expected to obtain 576 individuals with normal wings and body with normal hair, 192 with normal wings and hairy body, 192 with vestigial wings and body with normal hair, and 64 with vestigial wings and hairy body.

Explanation:

Since only the wild-type of the offspring cross each other and since the parents have antagonistic phenotypic characters for each gene, all the progeny produced in the F1 is heterozygous with VgvgHh genotype, where

Vg: Normal wings.

eg: Vestigial wings.

H: Body with normal hair.

h: Hairy body.

Once F1 reproduces with each other, the Mendelian proportions 9/16, 3/16, 3/16, 1/16 expected in the F2 generation are produced.

Since in total there were 1024 individuals in the offspring, this amount is multiplied by the expected proportions, giving rise to the mentioned result.

What term describes the rising and sinking of the lithosphere as material is added or removed?
Margaret [11]
<span>Composition. (We use the crust-mantle-core terminology to describe differences in chemical composition in Earth's interior. We use the lithosphere- asthenosphere terminology to describe differences the physical state and behavior. Note that the boundaries between layers with different compositions do not occur at the same depths as the boundaries between layers with different physical properties. For example, there is a change in composition when passing from crust into mantle. But there is no change in physical state or behavior at this boundary- the uppermost part of the mantle behaves in the same way that the crust does because it is still far enough below its melting temperature to be a rigid, brittle solid. The transition to a softer, more pliable solid occurs further down within the mantle and this change in behavior occurs with no change in composition.)</span>

List 3 cellular components involved in metabolism that are influenced by temperature
stiv31 [10]

The three cellular components, which takes part in the process of metabolism and are affected by the modifications in temperature are ribosomes, cell membrane, and enzymes.

All these are formed of a certain type of protein, which can become denatured when exposed to high enough heat or stop gets functioning at too low temperature. The high temperature can disrupt the non-polar hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds. This takes place as heat enhances the kinetic energy and makes the molecules to throb so briskly and viciously that the bonds get disordered.
